Lovely street of new and old, leading into little india, where curry, gold and silk is good and cheap.

There are plenty of food outlets and restaurants along East Coast Road but this one in particular is my favourite. An old-school eatery with absolutely no-frills, from the interior to the food they serve. They only sell Niang Tou Fu (primarily tofu and vegetables stuffed with ground meat mixture or fish paste) here which is only SGD 70 cents per piece and sour plum drink, both homemade I think. Would highly recommend the crispy deep fried beancurd and add the chilli paste if you like it spicy. Do not expect top-notch service here though, after all its no-frills.

It's actually in Kuala Lumpur, well, but worth the 50min flight. Authentic and nostalgic, it's been left untouched since the 50s, now with 3de generation family working the floors. No menues, so shoot from the hip... the food is amazing, with minute fresh ingredients and still cooked using firewood. This is one of the best food spots in south east.

One of the last bookstores in the city that specialises in Art & Design books.

A rocky seaside with an impressive boardwalk and a dense forrest with eerie tunnels and war relics used by the british in World War 2. Shifts your mind on a sunday. 5min walk from labrador mrt station.
